    Hiya to everyone!

    Juliejim – sorry to hear about your OH, hopefully he’ll get sorted quickly. Save a piece of toblerone for me!
    G&B – sorry to hear about your LO. I really feel for you, DS has had operations twice a year since he was 2. Saying that…I’ve been told he might not need one this year so fingers crossed. Hugs to you and LO.
    Lil_me – good luck with the bloods today, I don’t know about you but sometimes I almost want something to show up just so I know what’s wrong. When I was diagnosed with underactive thyroid after DD was born I nearly kissed the doctor!!
    Shell – hope DD is feeling better.
    Jojo – welcome to the thread!
    Bosibabe – massive hugs to you and your family xxxxx
    Serena – hope DS feels better soon.
    Johanne – I hope the live locusts aren’t for your LO!!!!!!
    Hello to everyone else!

    Wow you lot have been talkative! My list today consists of one thing;

    REVISE!!!!!!!!!

    So, that's what I ought to do. I've just phoned the headteacher to tell him I wasn't happy to be put in the predicament he's put me in. He was very apologetic and assures me 'lessons have been learnt'. I'm glad I complained though! We've had the class lists for next year and my two are with really good teachers - my daughter is with the teacher I really wanted, very, very, very strict but fair. She's in a class of 19!!!!!!! That's never happened. Mind you, I think it's very unfair as by putting my daughters year on it's own they're also putting the year 6s on their own and there's 36 of them! That's just not right.

    Right, what do I need to go and do???? :rotfl: xx

    Morning everyone, big massive hugs to all that need them and i hope everyone thats feeling unwell gets better soon, this thread moves to fast and my memory is awful.:rotfl:

    Haven't done any flying really this last few days, so really need to get on today. We found out the fee for the council and was expecting it to be high so was completely shocked this morning to find out it's 60 pounds so gonna get it payed today and hopefully in a few weeks it will be passed.:j It will leave us with 15 pounds till tuesday so i need to get a list done of what meals can be made.

    Need to get hold of builder now and get him out to give us an estimate so i'll really excited.

    Plan today is to do as much flying as possible and meet a friend later to swap some veg for the veg patch.
    Do a list for ebay, freecycle and ads for free.
    Leave back library books that should have been lift back a week ago.
    Try and get hold of the builder.
    Find and leave 4 pairs of glasses in to be fixed.

    Right cup of coffee first to waken me up, cuppa anyone? help yourself...:coffee: :coffee: :coffee: :coffee: :coffee: :coffee: :coffee: :coffee:
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Morning

    I've decided that I've put it off too long now .... my house is a complete tip, I've really got behind with the housework and something needs to be done.

    I have piles of stuff that needs to be either thrown out, given to the charity shop or sold on ebay and after I've trawled through all that lot and decided what's going where ....... I need to spring clean every room from top to bottom.

    It seems like such a massively daunting task that I really don't know where to start ........ I'll be doing it this weekend, so any top tips any of you may have as to how to do it most quickly, effectively and efficiently would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    Clear the clutter first before you even think about cleaning. Once you've done that the job will be a lot easier. If you've a lot to clean I'd settle for one room per week-end, starting with the bathroom, then the kitchen. Good luck!
